Abstract: Method and apparatus (80) are provided for establishing and controlling the stability and movement of a reaction wave of reacting gases in a matrix (104) of solid heat-resistant matter, wherein such reacting gases may be recuperatively pre-heated. At least a portion of the bed is initially preheated above the autoignition temperature of the mixture whereby the mixture reacts upon being introduced into the matrix thereby initiating a self-sustaining reaction region, after which the pre-heating can be terminated. The stability and movement of the wave within the matrix is maintained by monitoring the temperatures along the flowpath of the gases through the bed and adjusting the flow of the gases and/or vapors or air to maintain and stabilize the wave in the bed. The method and apparatus provide for the reaction or combustion of gases to minimize NO x  and undesired products of incomplete combustion. A recuperative heat exchange system may be used to preheat the reactants with heat generated by the reaction by channeling hot exhaust gases through the matrix surrounding reactant inlet tubes (96). The inlet tubes are thermally conducting and contain an interior matrix. The matrices interior to and surrounding the inlet tubes promote radiative heat transfer.

Abstract: A burner (10) for the combustion of a fuel plus air mixture comprises a central nozzle pipe (16) having an inner surface (32) with a portion which diverges outwardly. An axially movable plug (38) is positioned within the nozzle pipe (16) and includes an outer wall (34) with a diverging section extending within the diverging section of the nozzle pipe (16). By axially moving the plug (38), the cross sectional area of the space between the diverging surfaces increases and decreases, respectively decreasing and increasing the velocity of the fuel plus air mixture passing through the nozzle space. This reduces the formation of NO x  and the length of the flame produced by the burner (10).

Abstract: More stringent environmental constraints result in an ever wider field of application for sensors which are suitable for detecting combustion products. These sensors are used to optimise combustion processes in order to minimise pollution. The invention describes an arrangement comprising a first and second gas sensor. These sensors consists of a resistive material, e.g. a metal oxide such as SrTiO3, and are suitable for detecting oxygen partial pressures in gas mixtures. The particular advantage in the arrangement according to the invention consists in the second gas sensor, owing to doping, showing no dependence of its conductivity behaviour on the oxygen partial pressure of the gas mixture. However, it has precisely the same temperature dependence of the conductivity behaviour as the first gas sensor. Thus it is possible to dispense with less reliable - in terms of their insulating behaviour - nitride passivations of the sensor, and to use the second gas sensor at the same time as a temperature sensor for the sensor heater. <IMAGE>

Abstract: When one strand, which is formed by gathering a multiplicity of glass filaments having a diameter of 9 µ or less and formed by drawing molten glass flowed out through a multiplicity of orifices formed in the bottom portion of a bushing, is wound around a collet, the strand is wound to form a square-end cheese package by traversing the strand by a traversing device having a constant amplitude, while the strand is brought into contact with a rotative drum of a tension relaxing device to reduce the tension acting on the strand. Thus, the quality of a package of non-twisted glass yarn having a monofilament diameter of 3 to 9 µ can be improved, a large quantity of the package can be formed, and the package can easily be transported.

Abstract: An electrical conductive pattern is deposited on the surface of a frame constituting an integrated circuit carrier. To bring leads extending from an integrated circuit package in contact with the electrical conductive pattern, a plurality of first contact portions are formed on the inner end side of the electrical conductive pattern. In addition, to bring a plurality of contact pieces extending from an integrated circuit socket, a plurality of second contact portions are formed on the outer end side of the electrical conductive pattern. Thus, the leads extending from the integrated circuit package are reliably brought into electrical contact with the contact pieces via the first contact portions, the electrical conductive pattern and the second contact portions. The arrangement of the electrical conductive pattern in that way makes it possible that the leads are spaced away from each other at an interval smaller than an interval between adjacent contact pieces.

Abstract: A bus error ascribable to a bus master module (2) other than a central processing unit (CPU) (1) is set as a specified factor for an exception process. When the exception process is requested, the CPU (1) executes a corresponding service program for the exception process without executing a process for altering and setting mask bits, which would be executed for a normal interrupt request. Thus, the exception process request specific to the bus error is not undesirably refused by interrupt requests etc., being accepted before the bus error. Furthermore there is a reduction in the time which is expended before the start of the run of a service program corresponding to the bus error, with the result that the reliability of the process for the bus error attributed to the predetermined bus master module (2) other than the CPU (1) is enhanced.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus (30) is described in which the number of operations necessary for color correction processing is made smaller than the number of operations necessary for gradation number conversion processing in a later process without causing deterioration of image quality, so that color correction processing and gradation number conversion processing can be conducted at high speed. The number of gradations capable of being converted in the pre-gradation number conversion section (40) is larger than that in the post-gradation number conversion section (46). The pre-gradation number conversion section (40) conducts pre-gradation number conversion for converting the gradation number of color components of R, G, B of the original color image data into the gradation coordinate value of the most appropriate grid point in the color space. The color compensating section (42) reads out the gradation compensating data corresponding to the color image data subjected to the pregradation number conversion from the color compensating table memory (34), so that the gradation number of each color component of Rk, Gk, Bk is compensated and outputted. The post-gradation number conversion section (46) conducts post-gradation number conversion on the data obtained from the color compensating section so that a finally desired gradation number can be obtained.
